Yeah, because people have booked the free times. As advised earlier in this group, keep checking back and you might be lucky to see a free opening.

This looks like a free appointment date as no extra fee is attached other than the scanning fee. Am I correct?

U are correct. But the scanning fee is also not compulsory. If u dont want u can do the scanning by yourself and as such delete that option from ur basket

I am going for biometrics soon. I hope to submit 4 months bank statement. First timer. Should I be worried?

Why are you not submitting the statutory 6 months?

As a result of transactions that cannot be accounted for.

No dont be. 4 months is okay provided it reflects everything written in your application.

December 16th.. 13:30pm. Not sure if it's really free because the date has an upward arrow on it.

Hello all,
I applied for UK visa last year for a training for work and I was granted visa. I traveled for the course and got back then traveled few months to the UK again on holidays before the VISA got expired. I was in Finland this same year for a short training, then got a Turkish visa as I traveled though Turkey. I have done 2 west African countries after I got back from Finland/Turkey.
Now I am applying for 2years UK VISA and I dont know if its a good idea.

It is a good idea because i got my first UK visa with a virgin passport last year october, i travelled once with it for a conference and applied for 2 year visa this year which i got.

Okay. You just allayed my fears. Thanks a lot. Also, I earn 300k, monthly expenses is 70k. My trip is for 7 days. Budget is 391k. Was able to get cheap flight (not yet paid, for 218k), hostel accommodation for 40k.. The balance is for living costs. What's your take, please?

Monthly expenses should be reduced to 45k-50k to give room for enough disposable income . Besides flight itinerary is not needed for UK visa application but you can state the cost in your cover letter when explaining your budget.

[quote author=Vicas2000 post=84096194]1. She can still get a letter of introduction if possible.
2. If they both have landed property, other immediate family members who still live in Nigeria, that may stand as proof that they will return back to Nigeria, so you can apply for both of them together at same time. i.e. they will submit land documents, pension payment for dad, salary payment for mum, birth cert of other children living in Nigeria etc.

If you can't supply this, then better to apply seperately and get them to include marriage cert + letter from the other spouse stating that they will remain in Nigeria when the other spouse is in the UK.

3. Yes! they still need their bank account. It doesnt need to have lots of money in it.

4. Submit both account. He can explain that he recieves pension in one account and motnhly stipends from you in the second account. Both source of payment serves as income. Make sure you provide proof of you sending them money to their account e.g. money transfer reciepts.

5. You really don't have to wait, if she can still proof that her employment is still valid and that she recieves salary, then I see no reason why this should be a problem.

6. Your husband may have a point. But its difficult to advise without understanding your brothers current circumstances in full. i.e. a lot of other details go into refusing visa besides not being employed.

However, if i was in your shoes, will wait to help him apply for a student visa directly though to avoid multiple visa refusal over short period of time of aplying for a visit visa and then a student visa etc

NOTE: I am not a guru. I am applying for my parents too, but gave advise based on the little knowledge I got from this group and from helping my mum successfully get a visit visa.

best of luck smiley

Thanks so much for replying. I will appreciate if there is someone else that can advice me as I need to start the application ASAP for my parents, thanks

Hello people, kindly advise, my parents have both visited me in 2018 but separately (early and late 2018) dad is retired while mum was working then. Now, mum will retire in January. I am thinking of applying for both of them for 2 years visitors visa before mum retires.
1. Do my mum need a letter from her employer saying she is visiting her daughter (she was given for previous application but she wouldn't be able to get one now as she is retiring soon).
2. Is it better to do them separately
3. I will be fully sponsoring them, do they still need their statement of account even if it doesn't have much money.
4. Dad's pension payment started after he visited in 2018 in his salary account but I send him money in his other account, does he need to submit both accounts.
5. Should I wait for mum to retire before applying for her if I am doing it separately.
6. My brother is currently serving and wants to visit me but my husband thinks he might be refused, he wants him to wait till when he comes for his MSc hopefully next year or 2021. Please can you advice me on which documents he needs to put together to enable him get the visa ( I really want him to visit before he applies for his student visa). Thanks

Bro. One cannot just reduce. He has to state anything as it reflects in his bank statement. I think his disposal income is ok as it is more than twice the stated budget.
